    Hey Dawn!

    Thanks for the comment on my blog (www.ladaisi.blogspot.com) - I must say you've posted the most helpful blog advice I've received since beginning. I copied it all and pasted it on to a sticky note so I'd make sure I wouldn't forget anything! This may be a ridiculous question at this point - but how do I go about linking up to other blogs?

    I am now following your Family And Relationship blog as well as your Home and Living blog - I love them both! You have so much useful advice and tips! This post in particular - I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, just finished college but in-between grad school and jobs. So I've been going a little nutty. ;) But I love having the opportunity to spend so much time with my kiddo.

    Can't wait to keep reading!

    - Lauren

Ways to avoid spoiling your kids

Image via Wikipedia Is there anything worse than a spoiled child ? Yes, a spoiled adult child, the end result. Lets face it, we all have the yearning to always give our children everything they need and want, but to do so well beyond the childhood years is ridiculous. Being a constant "go to" for all your child's problems turns you into a crutch, they never learn to walk with out. Come up with a plan - Start teaching your children early on what you expect out of them. By the time your child is out of high school, they should have a plan in mind for life. Encourage them to discuss their plans with you. Offer suggestions, such as college, trade school , or they are going to have a full time job . If they seek higher education , via college or trade school and drop out before completing, teach them the err of their ways by insisting they pay back any money you spent to put them there.
